‘An absolute must read for anyone wanting to take back control of their body and their diet, without needing a doctorate in chemistry.’ – Psychologies

‘Such a brilliant book.’ – Maureen Brookbanks, Daily Mail

‘Utterly had me gasping and rethinking my relationship with food and what I advise my patients – just a fabulous book.’ – Dr Nighat Arif, GP in women’s health, author and broadcaster

Unpacking the truth about what’s on your plate – and what it’s doing to your health

Everyone is talking about ultra-processed food (UPF) and its impact on our health – but what about women? Is this very modern way of eating having a unique and specific impact on the female body? Are these ‘industrially produced food-like items in plastic packets’ that many of us consume particularly damaging to women’s health?

In Ultra-Processed Women, acclaimed journalist and women’s health advocate Milli Hill uncovers the shocking truth. From period pain and weight gain to depression, hormone imbalances, autoimmune conditions, and even Alzheimer’s, Hill reveals cutting-edge research into the hidden dangers that lurk in your daily food choices.

More than just a book about food

This is not just a book about food. Ultra-Processed Women also explores:

• How the modern food industry has exploited women in their advertising for decades.
• The damage being wrought not only on our bodies but on the environment.
• The erosion of our ability to connect with each other through the fundamentally human experience of cooking and eating.

A wake-up call and a battle cry

Written in Hill’s trademark down-to-earth style, Ultra-Processed Women will help you:

• Understand the issues surrounding UPFs.
• Develop a clear course of action to break free from their damaging effects.
• Arm yourself with tools and practical steps to reclaim your health without guilt or deprivation.

Changing the way we eat, Hill argues, is a radical act of resistance to an ultra-processed world.
